Many of the initial requests were paid primarily by Airdrop dynamics, membership incentives, and low liquiditynot through ongoing returns or usage indicators.
As unclaimed tokens enter circulation and inflation drops, new pressure on the price may emerge.
The launch of Seeker represents Solana’s most ambitious attempt to link physical devices directly to token incentives.
It remains an open question whether this model can expand beyond initial adoption.
